M-Audio Fast Track C-Series!
MOTU (MAC ONLY THANK YOU!) I'd say RME is a grade up from motu. Aside from the hardware i think most people simply are convinced due to the software. I've had the motu customer experience and we knew more about the product they did. The units work great on mac but some features dont work as...- Formant024

M-Audio Fast Track C-Series!
yeah, just had to mention that sources with huge dynamic differences shouldnt be used with it. dac...that top 10 is just bollocks hehe The only ones i agree with being on that list (aside from chart position) is the rme and motu but they also piss on the other gear on that page(also...- Formant024

^^^ building a studio isnt just buying the gear, in fact, a studio is never finished lol. I see a lot of people improving their studio but they hardly got their bases correct, lots of ways to go around it but if you can get base right you wont need much "improving" :)- Formant024

M-Audio Fast Track C-Series!
I've heard these several times, also worked with vs-100/700...really nothing wrong with those pre's and converters. Automatic recording leveling is nice but keep in mind that not every source can be used this way (like when recording jazz/classical).- Formant024

I'd go with the Focal Solo instead of the cms, heard they had quite some issues with that serie. If you get the chance, listen to some Neumann KH120's, they're pretty neutral/flat. I cant compare em to the o300's but they still articulate everything very clear. Though im saying this in regards...- Formant024

yeah, while imac has enough power it lacks pci-e slots :( so you'releft with a mac pro. FYI Multicores are dope, but osx only uses 1 core when recording lol. Still, get the best mac pro you can afford. Tip on Cardas page, diagram I is the best, its the theather mode. If you can build it with...- Formant024

There's 5x7x3(m)/5x8x3 from the fibonacci sequence. Its not so much the size, but the ratio that creates the shape which matters... ultimately there's a solution for every room. http://www.cardas.com/pdf/roomsetup.pdf- Formant024

Ouch..your room is almost square, get good small speakers lol. PC part is still a little unforunate when looking at perfomance osx vs windows, coreaudio whoops major ass when it comes to latency. In fact, a macbook running pt9 rightnow would have no latency problems at all when using the ONBOARD...- Formant024

M-Audio Fast Track C-Series!
Not a great M-audio fan here but aside from that, its a mediocre interface with daw controllers embedded. I'd rather pay a little bit extra for good i/o, leave the contoller part is (if you really need this, so many 13" mini controllers for less then 50bucks doing the same or even more). The...- Formant024

PT9 doesnt require any specific hardware, sure..some stuff is probably more dedicated but that still addresses the most basic features. There are a lot bridge devices, to have connectivity with an HD rig and analog/digital i/o. This just marketing, its rarely the case that a daw truly depends on...- Formant024

Distortion(drive) / EQ
hehe @ relic no headroom = squashed mix headroom = every sound has breathing space, you'll hear more detail in sound because of this. On a note though, a healthy reading does not only imply going for -0,1dB alone but a reading that also moves as fast as possible opposed to one to where the...- Formant024

Often a trade off, if you dont need a mixer, dont get one but get an avid artist mix instead. I simply state that the best signalpath from source to recorder has nothing in between...not even a mixer. What you do need is some controlroom functions you'd find on a mixer, presonus central station...- Formant024

No experience with the saffire, not to positive on the previous saffire interfaces but @ $1000 bucks for 8mic pre's and 8 lines/10 outs you're set to go. RME doesnt make pre's like the isa but Focusrite doesnt make converters like RME lol. I worked with the hdsp, awesome stuff from rme but the...- Formant024

14k for a 24track mobile setup ? There's a lotta ways to go around this but also look if there's a good place to rent audio stuff. If you ever come to an exploit where you need 24chnls of pre amps or more, rent one for that one occasion. You could get an rme madi card for mobile, hook up the...- Formant024
